Conferences

Our conference volunteer program offers support to organizers of non-profit conferences and events, focusing on social, humanitarian, scientific and environmental subjects. We advise organizers of conferences on the overall organization of their events putting our experience and technical knowledge at their disposal, e.g. logistics, report writing and language services (translation and interpretation).

CyberVolunteering

The CyberVolunteers Program recruits, trains and coordinates volunteers with information and communication technology (ICT) skills for development projects. Volunteers participate at the local, regional and international levels, offering their skills and knowledge in areas such as web development, system administration or contents development.

Immigration

In view of the increasing demand for services related to immigration, ICVoluntari(o)s-Barcelona is pioneering a pilot project focusing on immigration and languages. Volunteers from the immigration community themselves are those who welcome new immigrants, helping them with their language needs, making volunteering a means of integration for newcomers and already well-integrated citizens of foreign origin.
